Cover Stitch
Perfect for various applications, such as simple hems, sleeve cuffs and necklines. Because the stitching stretches, it is ideal for stretch fabrics.
4-Thread Cover Stitch
3-Thread Cover Stitch (wide)
Chain Stitch
Since the lower thread forms a chain on the wrong side of the fabric, the stitch is strong when it is stretched, making it deal for stitching the waist and side seams of pants. It also does well as decorative stitching for necklines.
Presser Foot Lifter
The presser foot is higher at its tip in order to allow the fabric to easily be inserted at the start of sewing. In addition, raising the presser foot lifter to the first position raises the presser foot 8 mm. Further raising the presser foot lifter raises the presser foot to 10 mm. This allows you to easily insert even thick layers of fabric, for example, when attaching ribbing, under the presser foot.
Other Features
Adjustable differential feed
Adjust the differential feed to sew beautiful finishes, even with stretch fabrics such as knits and georgette.
Simple looper threading
The looper can easily be threaded since it can be lowered at the press of a button.
Extension plate with seam guide lines
The seam guide lines on the extension plate are a useful aid for sewing.
Adjustable presser foot pressure
The presser foot pressure can be adjusted according to the type of fabric being sewn.
Presser foot with guide
A presser foot equipped with a guide that presses down on both the left and right sides is provided as a standard accessory.
Exterior thread cutter
The exterior thread cutter is useful when removing the fabric after raising the presser foot at the end of sewing.
